Springfield Junior School, Swadlincote

Secure, Private and Durable School Boundary Fencing in South Derbyshire

Secure-a-Field recently completed the supply and installation of security privacy fencing at Springfield Junior School in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, creating a safe, secure and visually appealing boundary solution for staff and pupils.

Located close to Newhall Road in South Derbyshire, the school required a fencing system that would improve perimeter security while providing increased privacy around the site. Our team installed 2.4m high Defender V mesh fencing system combined with premium timber slat infills to deliver both strength and screening without compromising durability.

The Solution

To meet the school’s requirements for privacy and security, Secure-a-Field supplied and installed:

• Approximately 40 linear metres of 2.4m high Defender V mesh fencing
• Planed and pressure-treated timber slat infill panels for enhanced privacy screening
• CSX bolt-through posts with full-length clamp bars for increased security and panel retention
• Shear nuts fitted to the rear of the posts to prevent unauthorised tampering
• A matching 1.2m wide pedestrian access gate
• Padlocking slide latch for controlled access

Combining Security and Privacy for Educational Environments

Schools require perimeter fencing that not only protects pupils and property but also creates a secure and comfortable learning environment. The Defender V mesh system was selected for its excellent anti-climb characteristics and long service life, while the timber infill provided an attractive natural appearance and effective privacy screening.

The green powder-coated finish blends seamlessly into the school’s outdoor surroundings, creating a professional and unobtrusive boundary that remains highly secure.

Controlled Access for Staff and Visitors

As part of the installation, Secure-a-Field fitted a matching pedestrian gate to provide safe and controlled access to the site. The gate was equipped with a padlocking slide latch, allowing school staff to manage entry points securely while maintaining convenient access for authorised users.
